Is anybody else getting random blackouts in game and crash to desktop problems with Catalyst 10.11?

I have ran 20 runs of Intel Burn Test successfully and did Furmark 1.8.2 for 20 minutes successfully, so my sytem is stable.

I'll load it and check ! I got some weird stuff last night playing it. Every once in awhile it would have an image of a scroll like from
browser pop up on the right side of the screen in the middle of the (longest round I ever played). It was about an hour long. Wore my old ass out.

Update : I just read 10.11 doesn't provide support for my card , not until 10.12.
Maybe that will straighten out my Blu-ray screwing up. Artifacts everywhere.

We have the same first name. Interesting.

No issues here to report. The 4 games I am playing right now are all fine. I have not had a major, repeatable issue since 10.3 drivers when I first switched camps and that was my fault.

Yes, I get a few black flickers now and then, and been getting CTD's, and this is a fresh Windows and the first drivers on this OS. But I was getting CTD's last week with 10.10's, and Marineborn is getting CTD's with 10.10's and his 6870's. You got a 4870x2, so thats a 3 generation span CTDing and with 2 diff drivers.

I didn't even spot that he had a 4870x2....I am too sleepy for this. Dude, I think you should go back to the best recommended drivers for the 4000 series cards and stop updating the drivers as they will 99% of the time not even apply to you. I think the last drivers recommended for the 4000 series was 10.9? 10.10 added support for the newest cards, and 10.11 is the first line of optimizations for those same cards. Nothing was really improved that would related to your setup.

Agreed on that, they are new 2 generations old, there really won't be any new driver features for them.

How many maps in BFBC2: Vietnam?

A Russian blog has somehow gotten a copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam early and posted a video going through all the games menus (weapons, awards, vehicles, maps). Kinda hard to read anything since it's all in Russian. They also claim a release date of December 22nd. Thanks BizzyBox.

We now have a translation of the map drop down seen in the video. It appears there actually only 5 maps, since the top text says "All Maps". The 2 additional maps are Kaoson Temple and Operation Hastings. Thanks to gBGummyBears and BattlefieldTsk for the translation.

 

[erixx]

for the anticipated price of about 10-20 €, it couldn't be a whole new game, it's just a few maps and stuff. Thanks for the report, those who did report

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

get on teamspeak soldiers time for TPU to roll out and kick ass.

 

[GullyFoyle]

These look like the new load screen maps from MP7 & Vietnam: At Dead Man Walking Clan

well today was the last straw im done with Dice and EA games untill they offer me something with better hit detection aka no hide behind a steel beam and shoot throught it no snipe ppl through the top of a steel box etc etc list goes on along with just unloading clip after clip with hits supposedly registering but not doing damage. And i refuse to play BC2 at the LOWEST settings just so the game has a higher chance of registering my bullets hitting a target.

I am dead serious frigging Modern Warfare 2 has better hit detection in Peer 2 Peer then Bad Company 2 does with dedicated servers thats just bull, and i didnt buy my hardware so i can game at low settings as then the immersion factor is gone. Not to mention the hacking is still rampant on hardcore where bullets actually can kill people instead of needed 20-30 rounds to do the job seriously point blank and the fact is i HATE call of duty but man seriously you would think after 1942 BF2 2142 Bad Company 1943 and Bad Company 2 that Dice could fix the hit box already nearly 7 years so far and they manage to make it WORSE? yea tired of that crap

I shot Black Haru dead on with an 870 3 times with magnum rounds didnt drop him aka center mass but 3 rounds from an M1911 will??? wtf???? in terms of damage thats not right and thats both times with him at full health so yea screw this shit the games more unbalanced and more fucked up now then it was at release and sadly most of this bullcrap stems from there latency checker and how it tries to PREDICT whats going to happen... Im sorry dice i am a human being not some shitty AI you programmed i highly doubt your server can predict what ill do when i do it to even make the overhead worthwhile seriously? you backend can predict when i fire a weapon what weapon ill switch to and fire yea sorry dont think so.

How about the 10 times to a stationary target to get a knife to frigging connect thats always fun oops i missed ooops i missed oops i missed again 3 inches from the back of your skull when your not even moving

So crazy.....wanna play??

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

hell no ive uninstalled Badcompany 2 done with it untill Dice fixes the Hit registry bullshit. Till then ill just play other games ive yet to finished like Bioshock 2 Darksiders, and a few others i got kicking around here

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Ah well.. Ill be Carl Gustavin some bitches in the mean time if ya change your mind.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yea sadly thats what i had to do to actually kill people lately its gotten to the point i loathe playing cause i have to rely on that crutch. Who knows maybe just maybe ill load up Delta Force and play that its so old but a tleast when you hit a target there dead.

You should move out of the forest and into civilization. That will fix your latency issues.

well you pay off my $85k debt and find me a cheap place to live and i will hows that? yea didnt think so

 

[Kursah]

Well make yourself $85k worth of useful to someone and that might happen!

I picked up Arma 2 Combined Operations, gotta say it's been pretty interesting and a lot more technical, but with a few friends and a couple hours to kill it's been a blast. Dunno if it's still on sale on steam tho. Between this and the failure that is CoD BO...Arma 2 is a nice break and change of pace!

 

[1Kurgan1]

The only time I have hit registry problems that isn't just me sucking at aiming is when I snipe. And I already suck at sniping, so it really becomes an issue. Otherwise I drop people dead with ease, and even in normal, which is why I play there.

I have never had really bad issues as you are mentioning, I see the knife issue but reg isn't to bad, I still kill people on core and hardcore relatively easy. I have noticed after the last update was that people that were noobs were getting more kills cause they changed alot of the bullet spreads.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

Maybe this has been answered somewhere in the thread. But any reason why the server list is so short now?

less servers meeting your search criteria.
